Are your customers putting service requests on a Facebook page that’s controlled by the marketing team so customer service reps can’t respond?

Is it impossible to keep up with spikes in social media activity?

Do you need to learn how to transition from a 1:1 response to a 1: many?

To participate, you can start in the weeks before the event using hashtag #SMWOgilvy to propose topics and challenge the panel with the questions our industry is currently facing in social customer care. We’ll work with select panel members and a few participants who will be plucked from the audience to interact with this engaging exploration of the science of social, digital strategy, and technology
